探索系列再度回归，开启另一场文化探索之旅，此次将前往印度尼西亚，深入探索巴厘岛甘美兰 (Gamelan) 的世界。

这款乐器包含 2GB 的纯净采样，涵盖了构成甘美兰 (Gamelan) 的几种重要乐器。它由免费的 KONTAKT PLAYER 驱动（也可与 KONTAKT 配合使用），以其精美采样的古典形式，生动呈现了甘美兰丰富而复杂的质感，同时还包含许多功能，可用于调整和操控声音，使其更具新意。

巴厘岛甘美兰 (Gamelan) 由备受赞誉的声音设计公司 Soniccouture 打造，其声音可以应用于各种音乐类型和制作风格，从影视配乐到电子音乐作品，当然还有古典甘美兰音乐。

背景简介 - 甘美兰音乐

甘美兰通常被翻译为"管弦乐队"，是来自印度尼西亚（通常是爪哇岛或巴厘岛）的一种乐器组合。乐团的组成可能差异很大，但通常由金属琴、木琴、鼓和锣、竹笛、弓弦乐器和拨弦乐器，甚至歌手组成。每种乐器都经过精心制作和调音，以适应特定的乐团演奏，因此不同加美兰乐团的调音可能存在很大差异。

巴厘岛加美兰最显著的特点之一是每件乐器都是成对的，并且每对乐器之间略微失谐。这使得乐器之间产生自然的敲击感——这或许是地球上最古老的合唱效果。

从文化角度来看，巴厘岛加美兰具有强烈的宗教联系，是许多印度教仪式的重要组成部分，也是世俗庆典和节日的焦点。巴厘岛加美兰与爪哇加美兰相比，风格更安静、更"宫廷化"，这或许是由于两个岛屿不同的历史宗教氛围造成的。

甘美兰音乐通常以其明亮、金属质感和冲击力十足的音色、独特而复杂的调音、丰富的乐器层次以及循环的旋律为特征。这些乐器本身通常制作精美——在传统的印尼思想中，甘美兰被视为神圣之物，人们相信每件乐器都受到神灵的指引。

巴厘岛甘美兰 - 乐器

这张专辑中的乐器采样自伦敦交响乐团塞玛拉·达纳甘美兰乐团，细节之处也经过了精雕细琢。漫长的制作过程确保了鲜活的声音丝毫没有丢失其真实感，这要归功于Soniccouture对众多力度层次的精心录制——这无疑是Soniccouture倾注的心血。

这件乐器融合了大型甘美兰乐团的三个基本元素：紧凑型调音乐器、大锣、双金属琴和壶锣。乐器可分为以下几类：

核心乐器
核心乐器负责基本结构和旋律，由锣、Jegog、Calung 和 Penyacah 组成。核心乐器包含这些失谐音对的上弦和下弦，可通过 kontakt 界面轻松控制音量和声像。

甘萨
甘萨由成对的金属琴组成，包括 Ugal、Pemadé 和 Kantilan。这些乐器节奏紧凑，制作精良，以快速交错的节奏型装饰旋律。同样，您可以通过 kontakt 界面轻松调整这些失谐音对的音量和声像。

壶锣
巴厘岛甘美兰的第三个元素是壶锣，包括 Trompong 和 Reyong。这些乐器根据其所用的甘美兰类型而具有不同的功能。有时它们用于旋​​律装饰或独奏段落，有时它们可​​用于非常快速复杂的部分，类似于 Gangsa。

The Discovery Series returns for another cultural exploration, this time heading to Indonesia to delve into the world of the BALINESE GAMELAN.

This instrument contains 2 GB of pristine samples from several of the essential instruments that make up Gamelan. Powered by the free KONTAKT PLAYER (and also usable with KONTAKT), this instrument brings to life the rich and complex textures of Gamelan in its exquisitely-sampled classical form, yet also contains many features for tweaking and manipulating the sounds into new directions.

Created by the acclaimed sound-design house Soniccouture, the sound of the Balinese Gamelan can be heard across a wide range of genres and productions styles, from TV and film scores to electronic music compositions, and of course, classical Gamelan compositions.

Brief Background - The music of Gamelan

Often translated as "Orchestra", Gamelan is an ensemble of instruments from Indonesia, typically Java or Bali. Ensembles can differ significantly, but would be often made up of a combination of metallophones, xylophones, drums and gongs; bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings, or even a vocalist. Each instrument has been built and tuned for playing in that specific ensemble, so tunings can differ considerably between Gamelans.

One of the most distinctive aspects of Balinese gamelan is that each instrument is paired, and the pairs are slightly detuned. This results in a natural beating between the instruments - perhaps the oldest chorus effect on the planet.

Culturally, the Balinese Gamelan has strong religious associations, being an integral part of many Hindu ceremonies, as well a focus for secular celebrations and festivals. Balinese Gamelan is significantly different from the quieter, more "courtly" style of its Javanese counterpart, perhaps due the differing historical religious climates of the two islands.

Gamelan music is most often characterized by its bright, metallic, percussive qualities, its distinctive and complex tuning, the rich layering of instruments, and its cyclical form. The instruments themselves are often beautifully crafted - traditional Indonesian thinking sees the gamelan as sacred, with a belief that each instrument is guided by spirits.

BALINESE GAMELAN - The Instrument

The instruments in this release were sampled from the London Symphonic Orchestra's Semara Dana Gamelan Ensemble in exacting detail. The lengthy process ensured that the living, breathing sound lost none of its realism thanks to the painstaking recording of numerous velocity layers - a true labor of love by Soniccouture.

This instrument features three essential elements of the larger Gamelan ensemble, focussing on compact versions of the tuned instruments, the big gongs, the paired metallophones and the kettle gongs. The instruments can be categorized thus:

The Core Instruments
Responsible for the basic structure and melody, the Core instruments are made up of the Gongs, the Jegog, the Calung, and the Penyacah. This instrument includes both the upper and lower groups of these detuned pairs, with easy control over volume and panning from the kontakt interface.

The Gangsa
The Gangsa is made up of paired metallophones, including the Ugal, Pemadé, and Kantilan. These are the busy elaborate instruments that decorate the melody with fast interlocking patterns. Again, simple access via the KONTAKT interface is available for adjusting the volume and panning of these detuned pairs.

The Kettle Gongs
The third element in BALINESE GAMELAN is the Kettle gongs that include the Trompong and the Reyong. These instruments have various functions depending on the type of Gamelan in which they're used. Sometimes they are used for melodic decoration or solo passages, other times they can be used for very quick elaborate parts, similar to the Gangsa.
